Pints For Pits 2016

Pints for Pits by Pet Tales Rescue is a family and pet-friendly fundraiser/community awareness event being put together by Pet Tales Rescue, and hosted by Grand Rapids Harley Davidson on May 21st.

Grand Rapids Harley Davidson is generously partnering with us to raise necessary funds for our rescue efforts, as well as standing behind us in our belief that pit bulls and “pit bull types” are dogs; just like a labrador is a dog, a shihtzu is a dog, or a golden retriever is a dog. All of which make wonderful family members, all of which are deserving members of society that add joy and value to people’s lives, and all of which are a reflection of their upbringing.

We are an all-breed rescue, but we feel that pit bulls and pit mixes face more negative stereotypes and misconceptions than other breeds do. Because of this, they are the ones that are most in need of our help. So, throw back some pints, and benefit the pits at this dog-friendly event!

There will be games for dogs as well as people (outdoor jenga and cornhole), doggie goodie bags for the first 100 dogs in the door, a silent auction, food trucks, New Holland Brewing co. craft beer (Full Circle, Madhatter & Poet) and hard cider. We will have use of an exceptionally large space this year giving our guests the ability to roam through the entire Pints for Pits area with your pint. Improved FREE parking!

Tickets are $10.00 during the online pre-sale (4/15-5/15) and $15.00 at the door. T-shirts will be available for purchase the day of the event for $10.00. The ticket price includes entrance to the event in addition to your first beer. You will be given a wrist band at registration giving you the option to purchase three additional drinks at regular price.
Anyone 20 and younger will be $5 at the door and the $5 will include event admittance and a bottled water (ID will be verified prior to entrance).
